iPhone 18 Leaks: First-Ever Images Show 3 Colours, Reshaped Camera; Take A Sneak Peek

iPhone 18 leaks just stole the thunder from the iPhone Duo, whose sales started on October 23. The mystery surrounding the base model has been solved, to an extent. The base iPhone 18 leaks revealed colours, camera and the overall design. And it turns out, Apple wasn’t hiding anything groundbreaking, just quietly borrowing a page from its own Pro lineup. 3 colours, one noticeably reshaped camera setup, and a launch date that has thrown the usual September script out the window to eye a rollout next Spring. 

If you’ve been waiting for iPhone 18 images to leak, and get a sneak peek, then this is your opportunity. This is the first-ever iPhone 18 image leak and the picture matches what everyone expected.

iPhone 18 Colours And Design Revealed

The leaked gallery shows the iPhone 18 in White, Pink, and Dark Blue, though whether those are the official names Apple settles on is still anyone’s guess; the brand has a habit of dressing up its colour names at the last minute. A fourth iPhone 18 image shows a dummy unit built around the design, essentially confirming this as the final look.

The biggest shift from the iPhone 17 is the new camera plateau on the back of the iPhone 18, clearly inspired by the Pro models. The cameras stay vertically stacked in the top-left corner, same as before, but now sit on top of a raised camera deco that protrudes from the back. The LED flash has moved to the top-right corner of that same deco.

iPhone 18 Launch Date

Here is where things get unusual. The iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo were all launched last month, but the base iPhone 18 was missing from that lineup entirely. This was a departure from Apple’s usual playbook of launching every model together in September.

Two things seem to explain the gap. One is the arrival of the iPhone Duo, and the other is just how well the iPhone 17 has been selling, likely because it was such a major upgrade over the iPhone 16. 

Apple appears to be letting that momentum run its course instead of rushing a replacement. In any case, this change gives Apple the opportunity to ramp up the hype around its top iPhones twice a year. It will definitely help boost sales. The iPhone 18 launch is now tipped for March 2027.
